Rock bands Jane’s Addiction and Love And Rockets will co-headline a limited summer U.S. tour, which will include a stop at The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory in Irving on Sunday, August 18.

The tour will kick off in Las Vegas on August 9, traveling to 25 cities through September 9. In addition to Irving, the tour will make one other Texas stop in Houston on August 19.

The tour will feature the full classic Jane's Addiction lineup of singer Perry Farrell, guitarist Dave Navarro, drummer Stephen Perkins, and bassist Eric Avery for the first time since 2010.

Nearing their 40th anniversary, Jane's Addiction has a loyal following despite the fact that they've only released four studio albums in their career, most recently 2011's The Great Escape Artist. Among their legacies is the creation of the long-running Lollapalooza festival, which was originally supposed to be Jane's Addiction farewell tour in 1991.

The English band Love And Rockets had their heyday in the 1980s and '90s, releasing seven albums over 13 years, most recently Lift in 1998. Among the many artists who claim the band as influential on their sound is Jane's Addiction.

Although they haven't released new music in 26 years, they reissued the five albums they put out with the record label Beggars Banquet in December 2023, starting with a vinyl box set and then individually in 2024, along with a previously unreleased compilation/companion CD to 1996's Sweet F.A., titled My Dark Twin.

Tickets for the tour will be available starting with artist presales on Tuesday, May 28. Additional presales will run throughout the week with the general on-sale beginning on Friday, May 31 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.

Bad News for Foodies

Favorite DFW food festival Taste Addison calls it quits after 30 years

Taste Addison's 30th anniversary festival is April 25-27.

One of the longest-running food festivals in Dallas-Fort Worth, Taste Addison, has been discontinued after 30 years.

A spokeswoman for the Town of Addison provided the following statement to CultureMap:

"After 30 years of food, music, and fun, Taste Addison has taken its final bow. While the three-day festival will no longer take place, its spirit will definitely live on. The Town will shift its focus toward fresh, creative ways to celebrate Addison’s incredible culinary scene. The core purpose of Taste Addison - promoting Addison’s 200+ restaurants - will be re-envisioned to include new, year-round options to support and elevate North Texas’ most vibrant dining hub."

The spokeswoman declined to say why the event was canceled, but according to WFAA, which broke the news, the Addison City Council decided to discontinue Taste Addison because the number and quality of restaurants participating in the event had declined in recent years.

WFAA said a presentation to the city council indicated Taste Addison had lost the city around $760,000 in 2025 alone.

Multiple city council members encouraged the city to host a restaurant week-type initiative instead of the annual festival, according to the report.

Taste Addison, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2025, has been a highlight of the spring calendar for foodies, giving them a taste of the hundreds of food and beverage options Addison has to offer.

Held at Addison Circle Park, the three-day event last year featured over 40 Addison eateries, an outdoor food hall, pop-up restaurants, a wine garden, and an entertainment stage.
